Very useful update Sharad ! Thanks for sharing. Best

Dear Sharad, I came to know that this format is recommendatory in nature. Kindly correct me in my understanding.

Yes, you are correct, to be treated as presentation and rreporting best practise as I mentioned. Someday they will become mandatory. Better to adopt from this or if already drawn from next year. Since it is coming from ASB, ICAI, many auditors are asking their NGO clients to draw in these formats.

This template only has a P&L sheet. This isn’t relevant to Non-profits. Is this the NPO sheet or for companies?

The sheet is titled P&L but is actually the I&E template for nonprofits i.e. society, trust or section 8 company.
